  1. The pellet drop/bullet drop doesn,t change no matter what the angle. It is the angle between the line of departure and the bullet drop that changes, hence the reason that the pellet/bullet will strike high when shooting at the same distance as on level ground, either up or downhill. It always led to the advice as a kid when out with a .410, "always aim at their feet", when shooting pigeons in trees. (whether this was right or wrong with a shotgun, is besides the point. It always worked and I still do it!
  2. I love video footage, you cant beat it, and not a bad effort, I have always stuck the camera on a tripod next to the camera, but your way I think is better. What rifle you are you using? I apologise if you have said it on the video, but I have been told to turn the volume down.........women!!
  3. That's a nice looking dog, in some needed autumn sunshine!
  4. Nice pic, I take it those ears are sort of wings !!
  5. Good mornings work.. I,m going to have to get a dog!
  6. Nice one, cant get my misses to come out ferreting, but.. she doesnt know what she's missing!
  7. Thanks for that read, you,ve got us all excited here as we are out for the day with the ferrets tomorrow. First day of school holidays and all that.
  8. Seriously mate, contact your firearms licencing unit, and seek advice from them first. They will tell it you from the horses mouth as it were.
  9. Good vid Si. Another interesting point which I think most people are aware of is that gravity is constant, and a few years back when running some of our courses we used to demonstrate this with a small piece of equipment, on a bench in the classroom, one of the lads had knocked up, years before. What you had was 2 ball bearings (to represent bullets) and an elastic powered firing mechanism, that projected one of the balls. As that ball passed the second ball, the second ball was released, which just fell vertically as a result of gravity. What amazed some of the students, was that no matter
  10. You would think that the FBI snipers, around the top floor of the dome, would be better cammed up wearing snow suits.... Having said that they probably want to be seen!
  11. shit! now that is a piece of hardware! Yeah, and just think the resolution of the pic will have been massively reduced for public release/internet!
  12. Sorry try this one.. http://gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?auth=033ef14483ee899496648c2b4b06233c
  13. This is a photograph of the 2009 Obama Inauguration. You can see IN FOCUSthe face of EACH individual in the crowd !!! You can scan and zoom to any section. Wait a fewseconds, then double-click anywhere. The focus readjusts to give you avery identifiable close-up. The picture was taken with a robotic 1474 mega pixel camera (295 timesthe standard 5 mega pixel camera). Everyone attending could bescanned after the event, should something have gone wrong during it.. Double click anywhere on the photo to zoom in..........scary!! http://gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?aut
  14. A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the motorway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, but... something happened. I'm trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it." The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "However, you've got £9,000 in insurance compensation coming and we have the technology now to build you a new willy th
  15. Few on this forum can appreciate such a force,I can,I have sort of inherited a relative,really nice guy,got shot in a robbery maybe 18 or 19 years back,got some decent scars,once he got out of hospital the first thing he did was deal with the guy who shot him,google Davao-death squad,I did a back-seat ride-along with them several times,saw salvage on waste ground,smelt it first,as you said this countrys cops have to have traceability and accountability,no room in a civilised society's police force for rogue cops or uniformed bully boys. Mackem. I sort of get what you are saying on this one
  16. He was a newspaper seller on his way home from work, he had to walk through them streets. . . .he didn't come out to riot, he had been at work that day, how is walking away from someone, with your back to them, hands in pockets, head down, being a smart ass? Just because they are the police is, does not make it ok in my eyes to say, well we have to trust them to make a judgement call etc etc etc. It's typical of them in many situations, they do nothing when there are real criminals or trouble makers to deal with, but become billy big bollocks when they have someone weaker than themselves a
  17. Yes you can A real good information source for anything to do with Deer Management are the Best Practice Guides. http://www.bestpracticeguides.org.uk/
  18. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those scared and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. (Theodore Roosevelt) Too many timid souls that are happy to sit in front of a screen, without
